[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

aclocal8, acsilent and unused test cases all fail if I have the newly
released perl-5.16.0 installed.

The error appears to be because of a change in Perl, which now ends up
outputting the following to stderr:

main::scan_file() called too early to check prototype
at /sources/automake-1.12/aclocal line 642.

I've attached the logs.  If you require any further information, just
let me know.

Thanks,

Matt.
